Chelsea History
Founded in 1905, Chelsea Football Club has carved a profound legacy in the heart of English football and beyond, celebrating its first major victory with the League Championship in 1955.
The club's thirst for success was quenched further by their first major European trophy in 1971, marking the beginning of numerous glorious domestic and international triumphs.
The acquisition by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich in 2003 catapulted Chelsea FC into an era of unparalleled success, including 5 Premier League titles, 4 runners up finishes and the crowning achievement of winning the UEFA Champions League in 2012 and again in the 2020/21 season, as well as the Club World Cup in 2021/22.
During the 2009–10 season, Chelsea achieved their inaugural and sole league & cup double by securing victories in both the Premier League and the FA Cup.
In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Abramovich was compelled to sell the club, initiating a significant transition period for Chelsea with the 2022/23 season seeing them slump to a 12th place finish, one of their lowest league finishes ever.
